This story of grand art theft was woven spectacularly with the growing interconnections of the main characters. A few times there were details presented that did not seem to fit in unless you were piecing them together within the story later on. I think some of that was unnecessary, distracting from the story instead of adding to it. Overall, a nice well-done story.

"The charming Eduardo de Valfierno makes a very respectable living in Argentina fleecing the nouveau rich--they pay him to steal valuable pieces of art, and Valfierno sells them flawless forgeries instead. But when Eduardo meets the beautiful Mrs. Hart on his latest con, he takes a risk that forces him back to the city he loved and left behind--Paris. There he assembles his team of con artists for their final and most ambitious theft, one that will enable them to leave the game forever: The Mona Lisa. But when a member of the team turns up missing, and Mr. Hart shows up in Paris, Valfierno and his crew must stay one step ahead of a relentless police inspector, endure a devastating flood, and conquer their own doubts to keep the priceless painting in play--and survive. Based on the actual theft of the Mona Lisa from the Louvre in 1911, and published on the 100th anniversary of the crime, Stealing Mona Lisa is a sophisticated, engaging caper, complete with a richly imagined group of con artists and a historical mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

This was a really fun book. I'd not checked out a book from the public library in forever and hadn't read a fiction in a really long time, but when I was in with my kids the other day, I decided to grab this spontaneously. I'm so glad I did! Other than a few curse words, it was pretty clean.
